"The people of the eight Noble Clans are here!"
Just at this moment, someone among the many peaks in the ring-shaped mountain range shouted. Immediately, a clamor resounded throughout the mountain range.
"The people of the eight Noble Clans are finally here. Every time, they dominate the top eight. I wonder if it will be the same this time."
"I don't think there will be any change. Even the super geniuses of the ten great sects have given up. Who else can change?"
"That is hard to say. Many of the geniuses participating in this Five Nation Youth Competition are outstanding talents from the Boundless Sea. I heard that the Eastern Sea's Little Dragon King, Xuanyuan Zhantian, is very powerful. He is already an unrivaled half-step Martial Monarch."
A Great Jin Nation cultivator said unconvinced, "Unrivaled half-step Martial Monarch? That is only because he has not met the scions of the eight Noble Clans yet. Any one of them would be able to defeat him. Furthermore, the Sima Clan has already obtained the first rank three times in a row. "
"The Sima Clan's Sima Lingxuan obtained the first rank in the previous Five Nation Youth Competition. If he can defend his first rank this time, then the Sima Clan will have obtained the first rank four times in a row."
Eight warships lined up in the distance. They were the warships of the Sima Clan, the Bai Clan, the Li Clan, the Qian Clan, the Wang Clan, the Feng Clan, the Nangong Clan, and the Beiming Clan.
The eight Noble Clans had many talents and were very strong. Even the ten great sects could not compare to them.
The moment they appeared, the atmosphere in the ring-shaped mountain range reached a climax.
Everyone knew that the eight Noble Clans had arrived. The first stage was about to begin. Who would obtain the qualifications to ascend to the Wind Cloud Platform would be revealed soon.
"All participating cultivators, please wear your dragon-shaped jade pendant. I will count down from ten, and the first stage of the preliminaries will officially begin."
After seven or eight minutes, a resonant voice resounded in Dragon Sealing City. The voice was infused with Quintessence, so the tens of thousands of cultivators in the huge ring-shaped mountain range could hear it clearly.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six …"
As the countdown rang out, the noisy mountain peak immediately became quiet. No one spoke.
There was only the sound of the wind and the approaching number. All the cultivators' hearts were in their throats.
"Five, four, three, two, one!"
The instant the countdown ended, all the participants in the towers of the ring-shaped mountain range, the outstanding talents of the Ancient Desolate Land, the Boundless Sea, and the five great empires all moved at the same time.
Xiu Xiu Xiu!
All sorts of sonic booms rang out continuously as they headed for Dragon Sealing City in the center.
As far as the eye could see, there were young cultivators leaping down from all directions. There were more than ten thousand of them.
Three years of waiting, day and night of bitter cultivation. On this day, at this moment, all of the geniuses and outstanding talents under the starry sky began to move.
Xiao Chen wasn't in a rush to jump down. He looked calmly at the excited expressions on the faces of the various outstanding talents. At this moment, his heart was as calm as still water.
The thick dark clouds above Dragon Sealing City churned continuously as the auras of countless young disciples stirred them up.
A strong wind blew, and dark clouds rolled. Vaguely, a resonant dragon roar resounded from within the heavy dark clouds. The dragon roar resounded throughout the world, shaking the ancients and the present. The cultivators in the spectator stands all felt a great aura bearing down on them.
The clouds churned and spat out a great aura. An ancient and dignified aura spread out in the mountain range, freezing the air.
"Pu!"
Suddenly, a small piece of the boundless dark clouds shattered. A dazzling golden light tore through the air and descended.
Dragon Sealing City was dark all year round; the sun could not be seen. The thick dark clouds had not scattered for thousands of years. However, at this moment, a golden light actually descended.
Someone in the crowd immediately exclaimed, "That is the golden light from the upper realm's Kunlun Realm. It is the Light of Divinity. The previous Five Nation Youth Competition did not have such a scene."
"It is indeed the Light of Divinity. In the previous age of geniuses, there was such a mysterious phenomenon. It looks like this is indeed the age of geniuses. The vast auras of tens of thousands of geniuses attracted the attention of the upper realm."
"According to rumor, the one who ranks highly in this Five Nation Youth Competition will have a chance to enter the upper realm as a Martial Monarch. Now that I think about it, it is true."
The intense battles on the four hundred dragon pillars had already started. Thirty to forty geniuses fought over each dragon pillar. The scene was incredibly miserable.
For the sake of the four hundred spots, everyone had done their best. Everyone knew what this Five Nation Youth Competition meant. If they missed this opportunity, they would not be able to make it.
If they missed this opportunity, they would forever be a supporting character in this great age of cultivators.
The ten tallest dragon pillars in the middle were currently very calm. Not many people fought over them. Everyone knew what these ten dragon pillars meant.
The most intense battles would take place there. Without strong strength, if one tried to fight for them, they would instantly lose their qualification for the preliminaries.
The eight Noble Clans' towers had eight Noble Scions standing on the roof. The eight of them chatted cheerfully, appearing very calm.
To everyone, obtaining four hundred spots would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. However, these eight people did not care about it at all; they were not worried at all.
"Hehe! Brothers, I, Qian Wen, will take my leave first. You guys continue chatting."
Among the eight Noble Scions, a man wearing gorgeous robes of alternating blue and white smiled gently and performed a cupped-fist salute before leaving.
"Xiu!"
It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or not, but after he left, another hole appeared in the thick dark clouds above. A dazzling golden light descended from the sky like a sharp sword.
Soon, only two of the eight Noble Scions remained. They were the Bai Clan's Bai Qi and the Sima Clan's Sima Lingxuan. These two were the champions of the previous Five Nation Youth Competition.
Every time a Noble Scion leaped down, a resplendent golden light would descend from the sky. Those who paid attention would be astonished when they saw it.
Sima Lingxuan was very tall and slender. His eyebrows were extremely sharp, and his eyes were as resplendent as the stars. His face was very handsome; it looked like he was carved by the gods.
There was a kind of person in the world who was born extraordinary. Even in the vast sea of people, one look would be able to separate him from the rest of the world.
Without a doubt, Sima Lingxuan was such a person. Just by standing there, he gave off a strong aura. Everyone could not help but feel a pressure in their hearts.
Bai Qi took a deep breath and calmed his emotions. Then, he stood before the railing and prepared to leap down.
Sima Lingxuan turned his body slightly and looked at Bai Qi. He nodded and said, "Bai Qi, I heard that you completely practiced the most difficult Four Season Saber Technique of your Bai Clan.
"In the past three thousand years, you are the first cultivator under the age of thirty in the Bai Clan to practice this Saber Technique to Great Perfection."
Bai Qi did not deny it. He smiled gently and said, "What's wrong? Are you afraid?"
"You must be joking." Sima Lingxuan laughed loudly and said, "Bai Qi, I just hope that you will not lose as badly as you did three years ago. It would be good if you could give me some pressure."
After Sima Lingxuan spoke, he laughed loudly and leaped onto the railing. He stared at the tallest of the four hundred dragon pillars and a strong aura spread out from his body.
"Hu!
Hu! "A strong wind immediately blew from the distance, making Sima Lingxuan's robes flutter.
When his aura reached its peak, Sima Lingxuan pushed off the railing heavily and flew towards the tallest dragon pillar. "Pu! Pu!
Pu! Pu! "
Eight beams of golden light shot down from ten kilometers above. The golden lights were very dazzling and beautiful. They encased Sima Lingxuan and moved with him in the air.
"Damn! Divine light enveloping him. How strong is Sima Lingxuan exactly?!"
Such a strange mysterious phenomenon attracted the gazes of all the cultivators in the surrounding mountains.
Bai Qi clenched his right fist tightly. His expression was somewhat unsightly. Three years ago, although he was ranked second, he did not last more than ten moves against Sima Lingxuan.
He had allowed Sima Lingxuan to climb to the top without any pressure.
"Sima Lingxuan, the Four Season Saber Technique is not as simple as you think. This time, I, Bai Qi, will definitely take back the glory that belongs to me."
Bai Qi gently pushed off the ground and his figure floated up. Unexpectedly, his target was the tallest dragon pillar as well.
Four beams of golden light descended from the sky. However, they did not move with Bai Qi; there was a gap between them and Sima Lingxuan.
The competition lasted for five or six minutes, but no one managed to climb the dragon pillar. Amid the saber lights and sword images, several cultivators fell down, injured.
Miserable cries rang out. If one was unlucky and suffered a sneak attack from too many people, they would die.
Xiao Chen swept his gaze through the crowd. He had a rough idea of how to obtain a spot. His gaze fixed on the outermost dragon pillar.
"Xiu!"
Xiao Chen pushed off the ground heavily and shot forward like an arrow leaving a bow. Eight small holes appeared in the dark clouds in the sky.
Just as the eight beams of golden light were about to land, for some reason, the small holes instantly closed up with a 'xiu' sound.
Of course, no one noticed this small detail.
Far away from the most intense competition in the center, Xiao Chen headed for the most unremarkable dragon pillar at the periphery. Even so, there were still thirty people fighting over this dragon pillar.
The battles around the dragon pillar were exceptionally intense. The dragon pillar was empty, but no one dared to stand on it. Earlier, when a few people tried to stand on it, they were targeted. That miserable state was not too long ago.
"Xiu!"
Just as the thirty people fought, a figure suddenly appeared on the dragon pillar. That person was dressed in white and had a slender saber at his waist. He had a calm expression without any fluctuations.
"Where did this brat come from? How dare he snatch our spot? How reckless!"
"Beat him up!"
When the thirty people saw Xiao Chen stand on the dragon pillar, they stopped fighting without saying a word. Then, they launched all sorts of attacks at Xiao Chen from all directions.
The weakest of the people attacking were Martial Kings. There were many peak Superior Grade Martial Kings. One or two of them were even half-step Martial Monarchs.
Coincidentally, the first to attack was the half-step Martial Monarch Song Qing of the Breaking Saber Gate. When he saw Xiao Chen standing on the dragon pillar, he smiled coldly to himself.
This brat is just a sect disciple of the Great Qin Nation. Does he think that anyone can stand on this dragon pillar?
Even Song Qing was not in a rush to stand on it. It was not easy to face everyone's attacks for a minute.
He had to wait until everyone's Essence was exhausted before he was confident of standing on it for a minute.
